Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Lacourt escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lacourt in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
